Down and Inside

Naive, small-town Minnesota-raised Becky is fresh out of a tiny Lutheran college when she somehow manages to snag a prime internship with the Sioux Falls Canaries. The bright lights and the big dreams soon run foul, though, as Becky soon learns that working for the Canaries is not as glamorous as it seems. The team is made up of veteran ball players with injuries, drug issues, and attitude problems-- with some players only lasting weeks before being replaced. Still, there is innocent, old-fashioned fun to be had in the minor leagues, and Becky is ready to take it all in. In Down and Inside, author Rebbecca Moen tells her "mostly true" stories of the highs and lows with the Canaries, in a hilariously honest voice. And, like her alter-ego Becky, you may never look at baseball, men, or the world at large in the same way, again.
